Costume Measurements

Which carnival costume size fits you better?

Each samba school is responsible for the design and manufacture of their costumes which runs into thousands. Therefore, costumes need to be ordered by the end of December. Each costume is handmade by local crafts people, which is another reason why you need to give accurate measurements when placing your order.

Costume Sizes

The main decisive factor is the height of the person. If the person is rather corpulent, order the next size up. If in doubt, always opt for the bigger size (it is not a problem if the costume is a bit big, however the opposite can be disastrous).
